I want your attention!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Yes, I want your attention!<\/strong>
You see, God is always trying to get your attention. Yes, yours…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what God keeps doing with me, trying to get my attention. And sometimes? It takes more than a whisper. It feels like He\u2019s swinging a spiritual baseball bat just to get me to look up. I mean really. There are moments when He\u2019s reaching out, and I\u2019m just not alert to His love. I miss it. I get distracted. I forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, I am so blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m no saint. I\u2019ve made more mistakes than I can count. But here\u2019s what I know: God loves me. If He didn\u2019t, He wouldn\u2019t care for me so tenderly. He wouldn\u2019t keep showing up in the mess, in the silence, in the small mercies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve learned to pay a little more attention. But truthfully? I still stumble. I still miss the signs. I still feel deaf, dumb, and blind on some days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And still – He keeps working with me. Patiently. Faithfully. Lovingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cYou are precious in my eyes\u2026 I have called you by name, you are mine.\u201d \u2014 Isaiah 43:1<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Invitation: \u201cHe\u2019s Still Calling Your Name\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019ve missed the signs. Maybe you\u2019ve tuned out the whispers. Maybe you\u2019ve been so busy surviving, striving, or simply scrolling that you didn\u2019t notice the gentle tap on your shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But God hasn\u2019t stopped calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s still reaching for you\u2014in the sunrise that catches your breath, in the lyrics that make you cry, in the unexpected kindness of a stranger. He\u2019s in the ache that won\u2019t go away, the longing you can\u2019t name, the quiet moment when you wonder if there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wants your attention, not to shame you, but to love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s not asking for perfection. He\u2019s asking for presence. A glance. A pause. A whispered \u201cI\u2019m listening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to be ready. You just have to be willing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, take a breath. Look up. Let yourself be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blessing: \u201cMay You Be Found by Love.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you feel the warmth of God\u2019s gaze today, the kind that sees every flaw and still calls you beloved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you hear His voice in unexpected places: in laughter, in silence, in the rustle of leaves or the hum of your own heartbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May you know that you are not forgotten, not overlooked, not too far gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are precious in His eyes. You are called by name. You are His.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when you feel deaf, dumb, and blind, may grace be your guide. May it tap your shoulder, lift your chin, and whisper, \u201cI\u2019m still here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let this be your moment to turn toward Love. Not with guilt, but with gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are so deeply loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
